Blarg Art Show
I wanted to call this show "Carnal Comics Art Show" but forgot there's a porn comics publisher with that name (duh, totally familiar from my Last Gasp days). Thwarted again. But carnality is the theme. All new ridiculous NC-17 comic art by Janelle Hessig.

Four Mexicans & A White Girl Walk Into A Gallery...
Apparently, the title of this show caused quite a stir in Marin, but all I could focus on was the heavy responsibility of being the sole white girl. So much pressure! jk. The show was curated by Jaime Crespo - an old school skater and surfer who makes autobiographical/biographical comics (including stories about when he lived/worked at hotels in the Tenderloin in the 80's). I've been a fan of his comics for a long time, so when he asked me to participate, I was honored. It was basically my first show and I thought that I would hate it because of the formality involved, but it was really fun. Plus, the snacks were stellar.
